When I try to play Metal Slug 2 with MAME it load awhile and then says the
following:

Unable to start emulation

What are those and where to get them. The rom I downloaded was quite big
also (16.8 megs)

Please help me, I love that gorgeous game!

metal slug 2 is excellent, i agree, but i have a different problem. my
version runs, but with extremely corrupted sound. if you do get your version
to work, i'd be interested to know if you have the same problem.

thanks

Metal Slug 2 worked fine in mame32 0.36b5.I never tried it in
36b11,but in mame32 0.36b15 I have the same problem the sound is
badly corrupted.
I recently updated my soundcard (just before I updated my mame 32
and rom's) to a soundblaster Live! player 1024.I wonder if this
is the problem.

If your zip file is around 16.9 meg then it's NOT missing the
roms you mention.
Check that the zip file is not corrupt and is in your rom path
and is named "mslug2.zip"

You probably have a bad dump of the sound in Metal Slug 2. I used to have
the version with the crappy sound and I found a better version somewhere
with perfect sound.
